I dont own this device but i might pick one up soon however i would like to know weather the homescreen lag on xperia z still exists. Many reviewer complain about it but they are running old software versions i guess. So espacially after 4.2 update is there still any lag? And if yes how does it look like if you are running a custom kernel? I really hope there is a way to fix that because i dont want to see it.
I have not experienced any lags continuosly with my homescreen on 4.2.2, but sometimes it i see 1 minimal lag when playing with the homescreen for 2mins or so. compared to Samsung galaxy s4, that s4(my friends device) lags far more than my xperia on 4.2.2.
Yes there are kernels that can even improve the smoothness of the homescreens, but I would suggest you to try another launcher like novalauncher, that never lags at all!
Then it also depends on was apps are running in the background like Facebook etc

After tried with cm7.2, i using stock (dxkt6 2.3.6) for stable and bugfree. However, this rom is laggy! It sometime lag when unlock, srolling in apps, change page in launcher. Special, the dialer is lag too, it take ~5s to lauch, one times, the dialer hang with black screen that i must restart phone.
Is this lag because i install more app? (I install ~50 apps) that use more RAM?

I don't think so, its some bugs in the stock itself, im using stock and it feels the same way as you. I hear galaxy y got a stablity update yesterday/ recently, i hope mini gets one too.
I never had stock freezing or black screen issues. But yea its laggy kind of :/
I had one timea only, the dialer hang with black screen, but other apps is work ok
It seem stock use more RAM cause phone laggy

Hi guys,
I just used the Xperia Z at Sony stores, I like the design very much n overall phone looks good. The problem I see is that home screen transition is NOT as smooth as one would expect from 2013 device, my Note 2 is butter smooth.
I have seen in youtube videos as well, the transition on XZ is not very smooth, a bit a lag still there. What do you think its just problems with pre production models ??? And final product will be butter smooth !!

The guy who had XZ but removed his the verge article had final retail version and he did say it lags in just switching home screens with heavy widgets, no where else.

Yeah..m also talking home screen transitions..n every screen has just one widget n still lag was there !!!

Use the same launcher as your note 2 and same widgets, Z will be smoother than your note 2.
With Z widgets your note 2 will lag even more.
So you are worrying about nothing actually.
But seeing your past few phone purchases I think S4 is better suited for you

Same condition. Although I'll wait for CM dev's review as I can't live on touchwiz and i'll be flashing Paranoid Android right away. Btw Xperia Z with even Apex launcher on stock ROM would be better than Nexus 4. Nexus 4 has thermal throttling and it's totally fkd up.
Well.. I'm not familiar with Sony devices but they all look pretty darn good. The ZX would be my first Sony if I do get it and I've been reading up and developer support seems better.
If that's the case, I'm pretty sure the device can speed up. For a start.. by using Nova launcher and perhaps overclocking.
And yea.. I can't wait to try it out at the Sony store!
Hi all, I don't have an htc one, but I read on the nexus 4 section that there is a bit of lag when you scroll in apps like facebook, twitter and more or less in every android app. Is it so for the htc one? I would like to buy one of these two devices, but I want to be sure of what I'm buying. Thanks in advance!

Yes there's a bit of lag for the Facebook app as usual. Facebook makes absolutely atrocious apps, so nothing new.
An what about other apps? Does scrolling lag?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
I think it's a problem with all android phones. I own SGS3 (waiting for HTC One) and some applications like Facebook or few other apps with up and down scrolling lags like hell.
In my opinion the Facebook app is one of the worst wroten application on android. It lags even more than 1 ago.
Some applications in play store are really buttery smooth but there are lots of garbage too. Even Google's own app Currents lags.
Basically it's a programmers fault.

It could also just be Samsung's ROM, cos they didn't implement Project Butter properly as per Google's specs
I recently bought an SP and I love it except for the ff problems i've encountered so far:
- Walkman app, stops playing after a while, specifically when I'm multitasking. Walkman + Instagram etc.
- Swiftkey Keyboard sometimes doesn't show. Needs to re enable at Language and Input section.
- Poor VGA front cam. (which I'm aware of, prior to buying this device, so it's ok)
Basically, upon researching, SP somehow have poor RAM management and kills apps when RAM is somehow low. I wish we could define apps that SP won't kill, and it'll be fine!
Yes ram management is really bad in SP.. Someone will say free RAM is waste RAM.. But thats not true in my experience.. If u have low ram means ur running apps will close automatically... So free ram is not waste ram at always
Just try to root ur SP and freez some unwanted apps
Can you unlock the bootloader? Try CyanogenMod
Yeah in cm based roms we get a ram of 841 mb and in stock based roms only 766mb

I'm not talking about how much RAM does it say it has, Its about how it is managed.
Yep. CM based roms will giv better ram management and performance than Stock based rom.. If u dont care about the beauty of the Stock or stock based custom roms means try CM

The keyboard disappearing seems to be another bug Sony need to fix, as this happens even with the stock one, sometimes
Hope the 4.3 update fixes this and the lockscreen bug, plus better ram management

I think that the Ram management will be fixed only in 4.4 update kitkat as It is optimized For less Ram also.
And maybe wakeup bug will be fixed in coming 4.3

It's funny that of all the apps that can be forced close, it chosed Walkman and Keyboard. I'm ok if they forced close Facebook and Chrome all they want but the first two. lol

No, it can be fixed already in 4.3. This problem is not due to android version but to Sony developers mistakes. It seems they have forgotten to make some apps like keyboard or music unkillable. The problem never happens on any jelly bean Rom without Sony UI.

Actually they are force closed too but you don't really see it. Android kills background apps to free memory for foreground app. Music and keyboard are special apps that you also use when they are in background ( keyboard seems foreground but I think it's just an illusion, the real foreground app is the one you are writing in) and that's why we notice it and it's annoying.
You can notice that Facebook or chrome are also killed in background because when you switch app and come back to them they have to reload, they are not at the state they were when you left them (most of the time for heavy apps).

Hello i have a problem with my phone.... it lags a bit.When in Chrome ,Facebook app or using Swiftkey keyboard and pretty much every app the phone is a bit laggy.
I used Usermon to track the cpu usage and i say some random spikes.
I do not know where these spikes and the lag come from ... is there any way to create a log of cpu usage per app ???
Thank you.
2 usermon photos are attached.
Also my phone:
Crystal PA 4,4,2 Custom Rom
The kernel that came with the Rom
UBL
Rooted
Thanks again
Normal because Facebook, Chrome and the keyboard are pretty heavy applications to use..
Nothing to worry about
yeah but the thing is that never happened before despite having the phone loaded with apps...
